Caudell, Chief of Police _ �/�y}{ /Ll!_X�� RE: Bid #91255, Optical Disk System DATE: August 6, 1991 Members of this Department have reviewed the four bids which were submitted in response to #91255, an optical disk system, and I recommend the Department accept the proposal submitted by Records Imaging Systems, Inc. (Minolta). This proposal has been determined to be the lowest bid which complies with the specifications, and the rationale for its selection is provided herein. The specifications for the laser optical disk system as released by the Department included consideration of not only the system itself (hardware, software, installation, training and warranty), but also specific supplies and extended service contract costs. As a result, the bids were as follows: Records Imaging Systems $154,667.00 Central Records $149,058.00 Bell and Howell $163,851.00 I.B.M. /P.I. Technology $197,303.26+ It must be noted that the specifications issued by the Department were designed to allow vendors some latitude in designing a system to meet the goals and work product requirements of the Department. As a result, vendors submitted a variety of system configurations for consideration, ranging from separate stand -alone designs to networked systems to one which was integrally linked to the City's existing I.B.M. mainframe system. It is, therefore, impractical to compare one proposal to another, line by line, to establish the low bid. Consideration must be given to conformance to the few specifics included in the invitation to bid, and to the overall design and capacity of the system. The system proposed by Records Imaging Systems, nevertheless, appears to comply with all Departmental specifications, and is the lowest priced system doing so. 1\ q -/ 37 M 387 The apparent low bid was found to differ from the Department's specifications in several areas: -- The specifications require that the "system software must allow at least four single pages of a document to be viewed at one time when requested" and that the "system must provide document image, indexing entry /search window, and functional DOS window simultaneously." The vendor indicates that the "Eyecom software will perform all functions with the exception of displaying 4 pages at once. The software uses a function, or 'toggle' key, to provide the index data when viewing an image and does not support windows." -- The specifications also require that the capacity of the 5.25" optical drives be 1.2 gigabyte minimum; the apparent low bid provides 940 megabyte optical drives. While it appears that 940 MB drives are currently the most commonly available (according to the vendor), 1.2 GB drives are manufactured and the next lowest bidder included them in its proposed system. The difference in the capacity of these two drives (27 %) is significant, and the smaller drives proposed in the apparent low bid clearly do not meet the specifications. Additionally, the Records Imaging System proposal offers significantly more hardware (two "jukeboxes" and two printers compared to one of each) than the next closest bid. This additional hardware converts to more than double the overall system storage capacity of the apparent low bid and provides the Department with considerable future expansion possibilities. Further, the supplies quoted in this system are somewhat less expensive than those indicated in the lower bid (by $3021) and expansion hardware is slightly less expensive. Even considering that the lower bid provides a continuing service contract which is $1000 per year cheaper, I believe that the initial price difference in the proposals will be recovered during the life of the system in the cost of supplies alone. I recommend that the proposal by Records Imaging Systems be accepted, and that action be taken as soon as possible to formalize this recommendation through normal purchasing procedures.
